Dynon Avionics provides a free-of-charge upgrade of a firmware for all Dynon’s products and
is continuously adding new functions to these products and enhances its properties. These
activities are monitored by Czech Aircraft Group which also evaluates whether the last Dynon
firmware versions are compatible with CAG’s airplane SkyView settings and through the
Service Bulletin SB-PS-025 issuance (newest firmware version publication) CAG will inform
airplane operators regarding the related system changes and actualization procedures to
update SkyView system.
SkyView SV-D1000 screen firmware upgrade automatically updates all related modules
connected to the internal network with the SkyView screens. That’s why all devices connected
within the system have to be turned on during the actualization procedure. The firmware
actualization has to be performed separately on each screen SV-D1000 screen (Left – EFIS1,
Right – EFIS2). The actualization procedure requires to copy all upgrade related files to the
SkyView screen from a given USB flash drives (separately for each screen due to different
setting of each screen) which have to be plugged into the related USB ports (marked as
EFIS1
,
EFIS2
).
Map Databases updates are not controlled by CAG’s Service Bulletins. Publication of the Map
Databases new versions is to be monitored entirely by an airplane owner / operator. A free-
of-charge Terrain Databases updates provided by Dynon Avionics (REG-04-EUROPE HIRES,
WORLD WIDE TERRAIN-LOW RES, WORLD WIDE TERRAIN-VERY LOW RES) are needed
to be performed separately on each SkyView screen. A free-of-charge default Map Database
updates provided by Dynon Avionics (BASE MAP – EUROPE) and a paid updates of the
Aviation and Obstacle Databases provided by Pocket FMS and Jeppesen (AVDATA and
OBDATA) are performed on one screen only. The second screen will be automatically
synchronized through the internal network, once it has been activated.
A recommended 4GB USB flash drive intended for the files transfer during the actualization
procedure is supplied with every SkyView screen SV-D1000. To start a firmware actualization
a 50 MB free disk space is needed.
